Description of problem:
Applet does not appear in the panel on a new install of RHEL 3AS U2.
It does not start when launched from the menu. When I try to launch
it from the terminal window, I get:
$ rhn-applet-gui
/home/millerte was not found, creating
Traceback (most recent call last):

OSError: [Errno 17] File exists: '/home/millerte'
Since this was launch from a graphical login under the millerte
account, /home/millerte clearly exists (as it admits at the end).
Even the root account has this problem when launching the '-tui'
version of this software.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.0.12-1
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL 3AS via kickstart from a RHN Satellite server
2. Try to start program under graphical or text login
